Excerpt from An Inaugural Dissertation on Insanity
"Of the uncertainties of our present state," says Dr. Johnson, "the most dreadful and alarming is, the uncertain continuance of reason." The sage was himself a mournful example of what melancholy, and the fear of the loss of reason, could effect in a mind at once original, capacious, and powerful. Indeed, men of genius and talents seem, in many instances, to fall victims to the disease of insanity. It embittered the life of Cowper; shrouded in mental darkness the declining days of Swift; and prostrated the acute understanding of Vicq. D'Azyr. This spectacle of "human nature in ruins," which, while it attacks the learned and wise, does not spare those engaged in other pursuits, has attracted the attention of medical men and philosophers in all ages and countries. Their examinations have thrown light on a mysterious subject, but much remains to be still unfolded. A compilation of the more important facts contained in their writings, relative to this disease, is all that can be expected from one whose opportunities of viewing the disease have been scanty, and whose information is derived chiefly from books.
